Tambua Sands Beach Resort - Adults Only

Our beachfront bure was beautiful - great bedding, lovely outlook and an excellent shower. And the pool area is attractive with palms, loungers and pleasant views of the reef. But the main restaurant had zero atmosphere with glaring spotlights, dining tables and chairs coloured like a primary school classroom, and loud music playing on a tv (including US Christian fundamentalist singing during Sunday breakfast). The only place for a pre dinner drink felt like an airport waiting room with chairs facing away from the view. This area needs an upgrade to fit the “adult only” resort vibe. And given swimming is near impossible in the shallow waters of the Coral Coast, it would be nice to have more onshore activities for adults. Additional charges for everything from the TV remote, a community charity, a gluten free breakfast option, to giving you the room key!!!

Staff were great Food and drink expensive

The people at the resort were splendid - very helpful and friendly. The room was spacious and clean. Sadly the food was below par: expensive and mediocre. As the resort is out of any main area - one has to take an expensive cab to eat off the site. The resort is on a coral reef so swimming in the ocean is not an option but fortunately the pool is lovely. Annoyingly one had to get a new code for the wifi everyday. We would like to return to Figi but not at this resort.

Great privacy allowing you to unwind. Right on the beach too

It’s good to stay a couple of nights. Prices at the restaurant are quite hight and included breakfast very poor. Overall, it was just good. Staff friendly and helpful.

Would stay again on beach Lovely staff good food We had a car which made life easy Great waffles place 5 minutes down the road Tv was YouTube but worked well

Tranquil bliss on the beach with wonderfully friendly and accommodating staff

I recently returned to Tambua Sands Resort earlier this month, my second visit, the first being 20 years ago and it was just as magical as I remembered. The resort is small and intimate, with just 21 bures, giving it a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. I stayed in an ocean view bure, which was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. As a solo female traveller, I felt 100% safe at all times, both in the resort and exploring the surrounding area. The resort has a genuine “real Fiji” feel, with all local staff who make you feel like part of the family from the moment you arrive. Every team member introduces themselves and remembers your name, you’re never just a guest or a number here. The food at the resort was very good, and for something special, I highly recommend taking a taxi to the Crab Shack for dinner, it’s very reasonably priced with amazing food and a great atmosphere. What really makes Tambua Sands stand out is the people. I couldn’t possibly single out one staff member, from the front-of-house team, kitchen and bar staff, gardeners, activities and tour guides, to the security team and the amazing cleaning staff. Every single person worked together to create a truly welcoming and memorable stay. If you’re looking for a small, authentic, and warm Fijian experience, Tambua Sands is the perfect choice. I will definitely return again.

Food was pretty bad and no other options at walking distance. At least it was delivered with kindness and smiles.

Great space and staff

The sraff was amazing...the food however was subpar and didnt have any other options unless you pay to travel somewhere else.

The staff were super friendly and looked after us very well

The prices of the food and drinks were over the top expensive and not enough options for food. The same boring breakfast every day, coco pops, corn flakes, Weet bix, toast, and a small selection of fruit, concentrated juice, tea and coffee long life milk. We ended up eating out most nights and so did other guests. No atmosphere at the resort. I have stayed at the Warwick before and this place disappointed.

Really enjoyed our stay The staff were excellent and very friendly The resort is small and an excellent place to stay for couples Food is very good Felt very relaxed after a short while and would love to return!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Tambua Sands Beach Resort, FIJI. Chris was a standout staff member, who was so helpful. We also appreciated Mere the maid and the chefs' food was amazing. Service at the bar was good too. The rooms were clean and enjoyable within a short walk to the beach. If I could add something, it might be a small gift ship, with basic travel supplies and maybe some t-shirts as a suggestion. Only issue, if it says Adults Only, it should always be adults only.

No internet , got bed bugs, no water pressure in the shower , $7.50 for 1 can of coke. They dont have any customer service skills .

Private, peaceful adults only secluded absolute gem of a place- spotlessly clean, amazing pool- handy to have a car as it’s very secluded if you want to visit area, absolutely relaxing stay and can’t wait to go back, vinaka

I was traveling alone. I had my trip extended a few days, so I booked Tambua Sands. Its a nice place for the price. There were a few staff members that were great; but, overall, I found it to be a disappointing experience, to say the least. They were pushy about using their taxi people, (which significantly overcharged,) and claimed it was in the name of safety. Meanwhile, I had a random stranger message me on Facebook since the night I got there. Given that I met several friends on my holiday, I thought it might have been a mutual friend at first. After trying to get information from me, to which I did not respond, he sent me a video, clearly showing me that he was right in front of my bure. I reported this, and was met by an awkward "don't show this to anyone else. I will look into this further." Especially considering the "security" there, (nobody goes in or out without going through a gated entrance,) it was apparent that the staff seemed to know who he was. They assured me that they were investigating it. Since it was my last day in Fiji, they said they would continue to investigate and let me know the outcome. After arriving home, I received an email telling me that since I didn't actually tell him where I was, it was determined to be a "coincidence" and that the person had been "educated on how to communicate with guests," It absolutely was not a coincidence. It left me with a very uneasy feeling, and knowing that they brushed it under the rug made it more unsettling.

Amazing staff, beach and reef.....thanks for a wonderful, warm and personable experience

Friendly staff!
